\nTitle: Successive-Cyclic Case Assignment: Case Alternation and Stacking in Korean
\nDate\/Time: Tuesday, Apr 2, 1-2p
\nLocation: 32-D461<\/p>\n
\nIn general, Case theory excludes the option of a DP receiving more than one Case. However,
\ncertain constructions arguably demonstrate that this is possible (e.g. see McCreight 1988,
\nBejar & Massam 1999, Richards 2013, and Pesetsky in press). In this talk, I will examine two
\nseparate, but related, phenomena which are problematic for theories which do not permit
\nmultiple case assignment - case alternation and case stacking. Case Alternation occurs when
\na DP displays one of two (or more) case markers in the same structural position. Case
\nStacking occurs when those two case morphemes are realized simultaneously. Korean
\ndemonstrates both phenomena as seen in (1).<\/p>\n\n(1a) Cheli-eykey\/-ka\/-eykey-ka ton-i iss-ta<\/span>

\n\u0091Swunhi gave Yenghi a book.\u0092<\/p>\nIn (1a), the subject Cheli displays dative-nominative alternation and stacking. Similarly, the
\nindirect object Yenghi in (1b) displays dative-accusative alternation and stacking. I posit that
\nthe examples in (1) and related constructions can be captured if we adopt a cyclic view of case
\nassignment. In Korean (and maybe in fact all languages) DPs receive case in every case
\nassignment domain (i.e. phase) they occupy. Case alternation is captured in this system by
\nrestricting the pronunciation of stacked case morphemes via morphological rules.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Speaker: Ted Levin Title: Successive-Cyclic Case Assignment: Case Alternation and Stacking in Korean Date\/Time: Tuesday, Apr 2, 1-2p Location: 32-D461 In general, Case theory excludes the option of a DP receiving more than one Case.
